Hi, Shari
It seems the update has upset so many people.
I moved with the update months ago. It took a while to get used to--agreed. I am used to it now. I have had to enlarge the font as well. Now the images are too sometimes too big to be seen at one glance without scrolling.
I wish Tom would enlarge the font slightly.
Oh, dear.
Life moves on.
Merry Christmas!
NIcole

    I'm working on adjusting just in case. Even bigger is the size of pictures on the well-received page. They jump out at me!

Haha. You sound like me. I really can't get used to the new version either. One thing that seems strange to me is that the text on all posts is a light gray on a white background. Hard to read. Anyway, enjoyed your story, nodding my head as I read.

    Tom doesn't get the color thing. I bet his clothes are all either white, black or gray-- including his ties!

Hahaha! G'day Shari. I hear ya sister! These tech. changes seem to happen faster than I can learn them. I upgraded to Windows 10 and they do updates every couple of days, but each time it stops my computer so I can't even type a poem sometimes. I hate change.

Well done and said my little red engine friend.

Cheers Fez

    It's comforting to know I have a lot of frustrated users. LOL

And that would, by nature, be the 'Spitfire' we all know and love! This sounded like a perfect example of you and what I've come to know about you...there's something you're not totally pleased by, and first - you take the steps to make the issues known to the ones in power, then -- you knuckle down and keep going, never letting anything hold you down for long. Kudos, Ms. Determination! I think you can, too! *smile*

    You're so sweet. Can't tell you how much I missed you on this site for a long while.

Ha, there was a discussion about the classic message in the forum, so this a rather apropos post.

I hear ya though. I get sick of all the upgrades too. It's not that we can't learn it we just don't want to. I've got better things to waste my time thinking about than the new hotmail layout. :))

I'm using the new version of FS and absolutely love it. I don't think the type is really smaller though, it just looks like it is.

Merry Christmas to you.

Gloria

    I'm using the new one as I type this reply. Might as well keep up to date. My daughter was impressed that I learned how to take a selfie on my camera and e-mail it to her. I don't have the phone yet that does it. Sigh...
